"benefits": "Of particular importance is to meet the capability performance goals in the NASA technology roadmaps. The proposed technology helps with achieving these goals in radiation-rich as well as high temperature harsh conditions. Specifically, the proposed technology would help the development of technologies for the robotic exploration of high-temperature environments, such as the Venus surface, Mercury, or the deep atmosphere of Gas Giants. For example the planned Venus lander mission might greatly benefit from the proposed technology. The proposed silicon carbide integrated circuit technologies have the potential to significantly enhance, or reduce technical risk for in situ missions to high-temperature environments with temperatures approaching 500C or higher. In addition to helping missions to high temperature harsh environments, the proposed high temperature electronics would play a significant role in improving the state of intelligent propulsion systems as well as more electric and distributed aircraft and shuttle control electronics.
